FILTER Filed March 22', 1947 .l i (mk/ 5SH CUN@ Patented Oct. 1Q, 1950 j FILTER Charles H. Cuno, Meriden, Conn., assignor to The Cuno Engineering Corporation, Meriden, Conn., a corporation of Connecticut Application March 22, 1947, serial No. 736,467
This invention relates to a filter, and more particularly to an oil filter for use in automotive vehicles.
The filter of my present invention includes a thick-walled, tubular filter element formed of fibrous material impregnated and bonded together by means of a resinous bonding agent. The lter element consists only of such bonded fibrous material, unreenforced by metal or other fabrics. The filter element is of graded porosity, with the larger size pores toward the outer surface and the smaller size pores toward the inner surface, so as to provide greater filtering efflciency. The filter element is clamped between heads in concentric relationship to an outer shell, the space between the outer shell and the outer surface of the filter element receiving the incoming oil to be filtered, and the inner bore of the lter element providing a passage for the outgoing filtered oil.
In accordance with my present invention, the heads that serve to clamp the filter element and shell in assembled relationship are provided on their inner faces with inwardly directed annular ridges that are adapted to bite into the plane end faces of the tubular filter element to aid in positioning such filter element and in sealing the joint between the inner surfaces of the head and the end faces of the filter element. One of the heads is provided with an inwardly tapered boss that is adapted to project into one end of the bore of the filter element to aid in centering and positioning the element in place. An axially extending bolt is threaded at one end into said boss and at the other end receives a nut that serves to clamp the whole assembly in proper relationship.
It is therefore an important object of this invention to provide a filter of novel and improved construction embodying .a thick-walled, tubular filter element of fibrous material tightly clamped between heads of the filter assembly.
It is a further important object of this invention to provide a lter assembly in which an outer shell and an inner, thick-walled, tubular iilter element of unreenforced iibrous material are held tightly clamped and in sealing relationship to a pair of end heads, the shell and filter element providing an outer annular space for receiving the fluid to be filtered and the filter element providing an axial space for the outward flow of iiltered iluid, and one of the heads being provided with an intake into said peripheral 2 claims. (Cl. 21o-131) space and with an outlet in flow communication with said inner space.
Other and further important objects of this `invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the specification and the accompanying drawings.
On the drawings:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view, partly in elevation, of a filter assembly embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is an enlarged, fragmentary, longitudinal sectional View illustrating the cooperation of the heads and the filter element just prior to assembly.
Figure 3 is an enlarged, broken, sectional view similar to Figure 2 but illustrating the cooperation between the same parts after assembly.
As shown on the drawings:
The reference numeral I0 indicates generally an oil filter embodying my invention. Said iilter I0 comprises a pair of heads -II and I2, a thin cylindrical shell I3 positioned between said heads, and means, including a bolt I4 and a nut I5 for assembling the shell I3 in place between the two heads. A filter element I6 is also clamped between the two heads II and I2 in coaxial relationship with but spaced from the shell I3.
The head II is pro-vided with an axially extending smooth bore Il, through which the bolt I4 can freely pass. A transversely extending passage I8, having a threaded outer end I9 connects with the bore I1 to provide an outlet passage for the filtered fluid. Said head II is also provided with a second passage 20 having a laterally extending portion that is internally threaded, as at 2|, and an inwardly extending portion 22 that terminates just inside the cylindrical shell I3. The passage 20 provides an inlet for the filter and opens into the annular space 23 between the filter element I6 and the shell I3. The bore 24 of the filter element itself provides a chamber for receiving the filtered iiuid and is connected thru the bore I 'I with the outlet passage I8.-
The head I2 is provided with an axially extending boss 25, the inner portion of which is of circular cross section and of diminishing diameter inwardly to provide a surface 26 for projection into the adjacent end of the bore 24 and thus serve to center and position the filter element I 8. Said boss 25 is provided with an internally threaded socket 21 for receiving the from the inner surface of said bore.
threaded end y23 oi' the bolt I4. A drain plug 23 is provided in the head I2. A similar drain plug 30 is provided in the head I I, so that resardless of which end of the assembly is uppermost the contents of the filter can be drained by gravity.
Both of the heads II and I2 are provided with annular grooves 3l' and 32, in the bottoms of which are positioned gaskets 33, and into which the open ends of the cylindrical shell I3 are received. The head II has an inner surface 34 that is generally plane but that is provided with an inwardly directed annular ridge 35 lying within the inner and outer surfaces of the filter element I6 when the latter is in place. The head I2 is similarly provided with an inner surface 38 that is generally plane except for a similar annular ridge 31. The purposes of the ridges 35 and 31 will be later explained.
The filter element I6 is composed entirely of fibrous material, indicated at 38, impregnated and bonded together with a resinous binder. There is 'no reenforcing material, such as a metal fabric, associated with the filter element I6, as has been so commonly the case heretofore. The filter element I6 is formed by the aggregation of resin impregnated fibers in the manner and upon apparatus such as described in the cope'nding application of Anderson Serial No. 745,909, filed May 5, 1947, owned by a common assignee with this application. Said filter element is so formed as to provide graded porosity radially of the filter element, the pores toward the outside of the filter element being relatively larger than those of the inside of the filter element. By reason of this graded porosity, there is less likelihood of the filter element becoming clogged and its filtering capacity and efficiency are thereby enhanced.
As originally produced the filter element I6 has plane annular end faces 39 and 40 (Fig. 2), but when the heads I I and I 2 are clamped tightly against the shell I3, as by means of the bolt I4 and nut I5, the annular ridges 35 and 31 are forced into said end faces 39 and 401, respectively, as illustrated in Figure 3. The fibrous body of the filter element I3 is suiiiciently yielding to permitthis penetration of the ridges 35 and-31 into said end surfaces. Said end surfaces thereby acquire corresponding annular grooves thattake a permanent set owing to the lack of resiliency of the fibrous material and the compressibility of such material under heavy loads. Said ridges 35 and 31 thus serve in conjunction with the centering boss surface 26 to properly position the filter element in place and to maintain the same against displacement or deformation under the differential fiuid pressure existing between the outside and the inside of the filter element. The end surfaces of the filter element, in cooperation with the end surfaces of the heads, also serve as their own sealing surfaces, requiring no gasket or other sealing means to provide a fluid seal.
The bolt `III extends the full length of the bore 24 of the filter element and is provided with a threaded end 4I that extends into the smooth bore I'1 of the head II and is substantially spaced The nut I5 is provided with an inner cylindrical portion `42 that fits freely into the smooth bore I1 andv that, in conjunction with the head of said nut I5, provides an annular shoulder 43 adapted to seat against the lower surface of an annular recess 44 vformed in the outer end face of said head II for that purpose. Thus. by tightening up on the nut I5, the various parts of the assembly can-be tightly clamped together under the force necessary to cause the annular ridges 35 and 31 to bite into the end faces of the filter element and to effect a iiuid seal therebetween and also between the ends of the shell I3 and the gasket 33 in the grooves 3l and 32. By the same token. the filter can be taken apart by merely unscrewing the nut I5.
In the case of the use of the filter as an oil filter, oil is introduced into the inlet passage 20 under the pressure of the oil pump to fill the outer space 23 between the shell I3 and the outer cylindrical surface of the filter element I6. The oil filters inwardly through the filter element I6 until it reaches the inner annular space 24 between the bolt I4 and the inner surface of bore of the filter element. The oil then proceeds axially toward the outlet passage I8 into the tubing connected to the threaded portion I3 of said passage.
It will be understood that various details of construction may be varied through a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention and it is, therefore, not the purpose to limit the patent granted hereon otherwise than necessitated by the scope of the appended claims.
I claim as my invention:
